Iris was playing skee ball at an arcade and scored 20 points or higher ⅔ of the time. If she rolled a total of 15 balls, how many times did she earn 20 points or higher
Find 5/7 of 14 • Divide the bar into seven equal sections because the denominator is 7. Five sevenths of 14 is 5 × 2 or 10.
Remember… • Compatible numbers: • numbers that are close in value to the actual numbers and easy to add, subtract, multiply, or divide mentally
Example 1 Find a multiple of 5 close to 28. 30 and 5 are compatible numbers since 30 ÷ 5 = 6. 6
Example 2 16 and 4 are compatible numbers since 16 ÷ 4 = 4.
Estimate Fractions by Rounding to 0, ½, or 1 -If the numerator is -almost as large as the denominator, round up ⅞ rounds to 1 -much smaller than the denominator, round down ⅛ rounds to 0
Example 3 → 1 × 0 1 × 0 = 0
Round to the nearestwhole number. Example 4 Estimate the area of the square. → 7 × 7 = 49 The area is about 49 in2.
